"Oh Hal, this course is amazing. I've been a magician for 24 years and just like you, I thought there was a void in beginner Sanada training. You have very nice handling and down to earth teaching." - Nick Williams
"This (Sanada) training is very good. I highly recommend it. A great starting point and loaded with good information. My favorite tricks you teach are the wormhole and faux hypnosis routines! Very well done and I love your thinking outside the box." - Matt Hilton
The Sanada Gimmick is an amazingly magical tool. And folks, it's available at your magic shop for well under $10. I might add this gimmick is... under utilized... under exposed... under taught. Almost no layperson on the planet is aware that the Sanada Gimmick even exists. Very few magicians are aware of the Sanada and even fewer use it.
Your hands and all fingers will appear to be empty. Things will vanish and appear right under the nose of your spectators.
Why This Training Course? Quite simply, there is very little Sanada training available. There are a few magicians utilizing the Sanada in their effects, but they are not training on actual Sanada handling. Additionally, many websites that sell these magical gimmicks have garnered poor reviews because the gimmick arrives with no instructions whatsoever. Very few retailers will have the poorly printed and horribly illustrated instructions that leave a lot to be desired.
This beginner Sanada course will teach you 5 primary positions. 29 plugins or handling secondary handling positions will originate from these 5 primary positions. From these positions, you will have a buffet or menu of moves that you will select and add to your tricks or effects.
You will learn in your face intentional displays of the hot hand as you easily sell the idea that your hand is completely empty.
You will also learn about 20 tricks that will blow your spectators away. You see some vanishes, productions, transformations, transpositions and one of my favorite faux hypnosis mentalism effects.
You will get 7 videos and one eBook available instantly. Over 90 minutes of video on this amazing gimmick.
Wormhole/Portal: This course includes my Wormhole or portal trick where a silk is inserted in a roll of borrowed bills and it completely vanishes instantly. The hand is shown empty and the bills are handed out for inspection.
Purse Frame: You’ll see how your purse frame magic can really come alive with a Sanada as you can freely show both hands empty.
Hocus Focus: Also included is my Faux Hypnosis or Hocus Focus routine where two people see very different things in a small wallet-size photograph. A photo is provided to spectator one. They burn the image into their mind. The photo is returned and given to spectator two to cement in their mind's eye. Not a typical switch because my hands are shown empty. These two people see and describe vastly different images. My hands are shown freely and the photo is definitely a real one-sided normal wallet photograph. The photo can be passed to all spectators for review as they look at spectator one and wonder what in the world they are thinking and seeing.
